Daniel Kaluuya
BeautyWomenSocietyBookKnowNow
I listened to this book, 'The Beauty Myth,' about how beauty standards are messing with women in Western society, and I was like, 'I don't know this.' I have no idea, and I don't pretend to, but now I'm more aware of it because I've engaged on that frequency.
I AmFaceExpectAmHousehold
I am definitely not a household face, and I don't expect to be one.
JobThinkNameYouBecomeJust One
I don't think you become a name with just one job.

ManYourselfPeopleMeWorldBlack
Even people who say that black people are minorities, there are a billion black people in the world. A billion white people. What part of that is a minority? If you separate yourself, then maybe. But I see black people as one man. When I see people beaten on the streets of America, that hurts me. I feel that.

'Skins' was like our uni. I'm tight with everyone from 'Skins' because we had that special experience together.
HumorExperienceJoyPeopleFeel
My experience growing up in London and growing up in a working class background is that when people are down and out, that's when they're probably the funniest. They have to be. That's what they do to cope, to find joy, 'cause they don't feel the joy inside. Or they use humor to keep people out.

'A Prophet' is one of my favorite films of all time.
